The Base is emerging from shadows and ramping up its ranks as White House turns blind eye to the far right

An international neo-Nazi terrorist organization is boldly continuing to build in the US and planning a new paramilitary training event without fear of local authorities or the FBI, which once dismantled it in a nationwide effort.

The Base, founded in 2018 by a former Pentagon contractor living in Russia and now suspected of Kremlin-sponsored espionage, once boasted close to 50 stateside members before the bureau made more than a dozen arrests in a years-long counter-terrorism operation.

But since the presidential election campaign last year and what many then believed to be a surefire victory for Donald Trump, the Base saw an opportunity in a potential administration uninterested in policing white supremacy and went about ramping up its ranks.

    Can we dose them with Ecstasy while they are all gathered together? Or should we nuke them from space? I’m really torn on this one.

      Call ice on them. Although they’ll probably get the call while they’re already there.

        1 asteroid of decent size can easily devestate an area, also depends on what its made of iron or ice.

        One member of meal team six should suffice… if you can hoist him high enough he doesn’t just leave a dent in the road.
